About the Author

Tracie Bonnick has been married for 25 years to her "best friend", Ricardo who is a super supportive and loving husband. After raising four children and homeschooling her youngest child from birth to college, she faced the empty nest with hope and trepidation. With encouragement from Ricardo and by trusting God, she started Moving4Word Productions, a faith-based theatrical expression company that provides inspirational entertainment. Six years later and with over 25 sold-out shows, her mission is to impact, inspire, and touch the lives of people by proclaiming God's Word through drama. Tracie also hosts weekly, "The PlaywrightPreneurs Podcast", where she interviews Playwrights and other Theatre Professionals who offer sound advice to PlaywrightPreneurs.
